Farewell to Spock - caricature sculpt

"Space, the final frontier..."

I've been tinkering with this sculpt since I heard the sad news about the passing of Leonard Nimoy. Star Trek was a staple at the Daniels household when I was growing up. The TV shows, movies, books, the musical scores. That show, its characters, and technology have inspired millions over the years, and I was no exception. Spock, in particular, was a character I latched onto and looked up to, so it is odd to picture a world without the main who spoke that iconic parting phrase.
